The easy way to make a ‘Fractured’ card! Video tutorial & free project sheet!


You may have seen these cards online lately; they're quite popular.  It looked s bit intimidating to me; I thought I'd have to do a lot of measuring to get the pieces to fit exactly.  

Well my team member Karen shared how to make them at our August Team meeting and I was surprised to learn it's quite easy peasy!  So I had to share the fractured card on a recent Live video so YOU could see how fun & quick it is.

I chose to use the Hello, Irresistible designer paper and the Irresistible Blooms stamp set; both Online Exclusives. See all of our products available online here.  There are so many they have their own category!  

This card starts out with a full 4" X 5 1/4" layer of designer paper.  The center squares and strips are added on directly over the designer paper!  No measuring needed!!

This pretty designer paper is in low inventory.  Do you have it yet?  It's just beautiful!

My center squares are approximately 2" in size and are from the Stylish Shapes dies – the middle die of the 5 square dies. I chose to add a 2 1/4" layer under my square.  

Tip: Once you adhere your square to the upper center (eyeballing, no measuring needed) you will start adding your 1/4" X 5" strips of card stock.  You start at the upper center.  Leave the excess strips hanging off the card until you're done; then just trim off.  *watch the video below to see my helpful tips for success. 

Here are both cards I shared in the video; one in Pretty Peacock and the other in Petal Pink. 

 

Which do you prefer?  One is soft and pretty and the other is vibrant. I like the 1/4" strips to match the card base; I feel it gives a greater sense of continuity.  

I kept these cards quite simple but you could certainly add more to it.

  • This week’s card sketch for a quick, cute card!


    Are you a collector of pretty papers?  I've heard that many of you are!  I equate it to my fabric collecting days.  

    This card sketch idea (seen below) will help you use some of it; it's so simple!   

    I used the Double Oval punch for the greeting which unfortunately is unavailable right now; they've run out!  But it will be at the end of March.  The stamped greeting is from the Enjoy the Moment stamp set on page 59 in the Spring catalog. This pretty Grape ribbon is also unavailable; it should be back  next week. 

    I chose to use the new Butterfly Bijou designer paper; an exclusive paper not seen in any catalog.  It's available here through May 3rd or while supplies last.  It's a 48 pack of 6 X 6" papers.  I love the soft spring-like colors. 

    Measurements are:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • Gorgeous Grape 5 1/4" X 3 1/2"
    • Designer Paper 3 pieces at 1 1/2" X 3 7/8"

    You could use this sketch with stamped or textured card stock instead of designer paper.  I would cut a full 4 1/2" X 3 7/8" piece of card stock, stamp it and then cut it into 1 1/2" strips.

    Join me tonight for this week's Stamp with Me Live on Facebook.  We're making these neat fun fold cards.  It's a Dutch Door card with a gift card option.  

    I shared the measurements & supplies list (seen below) on Saturday here on my FB page so stampers could prep their items ahead of time.  This way they can stamp right along with me!  

    Has the Ice Cream Corner suite caught your eye yet?  Such cute products!  I used the Sweet Ice Cream bundle (stamps & punch) here along with the Ice Cream Corner DSP and sprinkles.  You can see it all here or on pages 48-49 of the Spring catalog. FYI; the Ice Cream punch is on low inventory. 



    I made a bunch of cards using this bundle for February's kit to go.  You can still see them and/or get the tutorial for them here. 

    I used the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set for this card too. I chose the True Love designer paper and added a cute Magenta Madness flower made with the Pierced Bloom dies seen here; I love these!  

    Here's the inside view where you can see the gift card enclosure.  Use any circle punch and adhere the upper and lower edges closed. 

    Measurements:
    Card base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2",
    Gift card piece 2 3/4" X 7" score at 3/4" & 5"
    Inside layer 4" X 5 1/4"
    DSP bottom is 2 1/2" X 4", upper vertical piece is 2 1/2" X 3 1/2"
